The City Council passed City Ordinance 4 (Series 2010) at the June 21, 2010 City Council meeting. Ordinance 4 extends the current moratorium on medical marijuana business in the City of Ouray, and expands the moratorium to prohibit the sale and cultiviation of medical marijuana. Read the Ordinance. Please continue to check this site for periodic updates on the subject. Read details posted previously.
During the August 16th Council meeting, the City Council heard from a number of citizens regarding their position on this matter. In the end, the Council decided that this matter belonged on the November ballot and took action to approve the IGA with the County for the coordinated election. There was discussion about the ballot language and the Council is exploring two ballot questions: 1) whether to allow medical marijuana operations within the City limits, and 2) that if medical marijuana is allowed, as special tax on the business. The City Council will host a special Council meeting on Tuesday, August 24th at 7:00 PM in the Community Center to finalize the ballot language for the election.
